IDF says Gaza strikes kill Nukhba infiltrator and multiple Hamas militants
The Israeli Defense Forces said on 2 November that four Hamas operatives, including a Nukhba member who had infiltrated the kibbutz of Nir Oz on 7 October, were killed in a series of airstrikes across Gaza, and that two additional terrorists were killed in earlier operations. The latest strike follows a sequence of attacks the military reported beginning on 25 October, when airstrikes destroyed a weapons depot and killed two men accused of financing Hamas. Subsequent raids over the following days eliminated four Hamas and Islamic Jihad fighters, three militants including the same Nukhba operative, and senior Hamas commanders in the Nuseirat area.
